AK-Chin Southern Dunes

The course offers consistent fairways and greens. 100+ bunkers with different conditions, which is to be expected. Overall really good experience for the majority of players

Sand

Course was in excellent condition. Lots of Sand traps that made the course especially challenging. The only suggestion I would give is to try and make the sand traps more consistent. Some were good but others were hard pan. Beautiful course and Friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Playing surfaces are in very good shape. Green speeds are just a bit slower than expected especially considering most greens break far less than they appear to from afar. Several areas that are within and at the margins of and just beyond the rough but in play are in miserable condition and need attention. While relief is entitled there are too many burrowing animal scars in play and even on a few tee boxes. Enjoyable course with great teeing / length options.

Shirley golfer.

It's a challenging course. I think the greens were very slow and had a tough time getting the ball to the hole.

Still, a very fun course.

Bunkers

The course was in excellent shape. Some of the bunkers the sand was very thin, club bounced off the hard pan.

Pure

Southern Dunes is pure. It’s a great layout and they keep it in immaculate shape in season. Greens could be a little faster, but they are true. Bunkers everywhere and certainly desert “sand” but if you know what you’re doing you shouldn’t have trouble getting out. Tee boxes in great shape, practice facility is very nice, and the breakfast sandwich I had was absolutely amazing.

Greens too slow

Course is great shape but the greens were way too slow for this time of year and the amount of money you’re paying.

Last minute

Was able to secure a single spot no worries. Unfortunately the driving range was closed due to par 3 starting. Otherwise the starter got me out on time at 2:20 for full 18. Manicured like higher priced courses. In Maricopa, plan for a relaxing drive. Enjoyed my round with guys from Iowa, Mike, Eric, and Dr. Mike. I’ll be back for sure!

First time and I will definitely be back!

Didn’t know what to expect and was unsure of the 50 min drive from Scottsdale, but from the moment you pull up to the bag drop the staff were very friendly and and welcoming. The range setup was great and practise greens were in great shape and very true. The starter was funny and got us off to a great start. The course was in immaculate condition. The pace of play was great you never felt rushed but also never had to wait. This course is just as good or better than any in Scottsdale for a fraction of the price. I will definitely be back to play everytime I’m in the Phoenix area.

Over priced - $$$$

Understaffed. Heavy rain, with pour run off, that morning and no one to help get water off the course. Fairways were generally 1/2" deep in water, bunkers all had Ponds of water, greens are mainly elevated and pourly airated thus, as hard as rocks (heavy foot prints from previous days = not rolled out).

We had carts but restricted to cart path which were all one 1 side only, therefore would have been better off walking.

2 groups in front had same issues and also not too pleased.

Prices appear to be jacked up for the Waste Management Open week. $349.93 x 3 = $1,046.78.

Sorry Southern Dunes but it is what it is.

Course is one of my favorites in the valley. Always in great shape and the staff has always been great. Greens are in great shape and quick. Bunkers not bad for Az and the fairways are plush. Great practice area to warm up. Was another great day of golf!
